We'll be joining that club but I'll be trying to hold out until 20 weeks (week before Christmas). Dope how and language are involved as my lo feeding is so stressful. We don't know why but weve tried different milks and teats and is on rainitidine. Every feed is a nightmare she coughs splutters and gets very distressed. You can hear the milk going down her throat.

Hope you get on ok. My first who is now 7 was weaned at 3 and half months due to severe reflux doctor advised it be done as no meds were helping gaviscon ranitadine etc and thick n easy all the different milks nothing worked and at one point he was hospitalised due to dehydration from all the vomiting. Im lucky he took to it so easy. It was the best thing for him after a couple of weeks on puree and still his milk aswell but the bottles just phased out and i used his milk in his puree and foods he was a different baby he was sleeping he was full for a change he was happy and settled and made both of us feel less stressed. Wish u all the luck it can be difficult at times but it defo was the best thing for my boy. X

Why have they told you to wean early?

Just wondering because my little one has bad reflux.

Thank you ☺ x

He started to refuse bottles (he'll happily have 6oz if it's a dreamfeed or if we distract him throughout a feed, but if I try to just give him a bottle he just pushes it out of his mouth) and dropped weight. The paediatrician thinks that he has linked bottles to reflux pain so doesn't want them. They think weaning will help.
